2019 Nissan Leaf Electric · FH68 VLX

The 2019 Nissan Leaf presents a stable and reassuring maintenance trajectory, culminating in a clean pass at its most recent MOT on 26 March 2026 at 34,143 miles. The record shows no recurring mechanical or structural defects across five consecutive annual tests. The single failed test on 24 March 2026, recorded at the identical mileage, lists no defects, suggesting a minor administrative or procedural issue rather than a substantive fault, immediately resolved by the subsequent pass two days later. This pattern indicates a vehicle that has been consistently maintained to a roadworthy standard without any persistent or worsening faults. The mileage accumulation is notably low for a seven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,878 miles annually. The progression from 15,200 miles in February 2023 to 34,143 miles in March 2026 reveals a steady, consistent usage pattern of roughly 6,000 to 6,500 miles per year, with no sudden spikes or prolonged gaps in testing that might indicate extended periods of disuse. The tight spring testing window demonstrates regular, predictable ownership and use rather than neglect or high-intensity driving. The absence of any advisories or defect flags across the entire MOT history is exceptional and points to diligent preventative care. A prospective buyer should still conduct a physical inspection focused on components not always captured by the MOT. Check the condition of the 12-volt auxiliary battery, which is critical for the EV's ancillary systems and prone to failure. Examine the tyre sidewalls for cracking, as low-mileage vehicles often suffer from age-related deterioration rather than tread wear. Inspect the brake discs and calipers for surface corrosion, a common issue with regenerative braking systems that can lead to binding or uneven wear despite low mileage. Finally, assess the charge port and cable for any damage, and verify the health of the main drive battery through a diagnostic scan, as a standard MOT does not assess battery degradation.
